Snowblind

Against the roll of Winter's drum, 
muffled tempo beat slow, 
curls of coal dust, billow, 
drift, nothing to hear, less to know. 

Magnesium flared streams, in 
silent flash on petrified cloud; 
crunching footfalls, cornflake steps 
mute, snow-blind, heads bowed. 

Halos bled grey, no angels, only 
breath of white vapour, 
feelings frozen, express T.V. 
dinners last forever, in wax paper. 

Vellum ridged glass panes twisted, 
stared faded cobalt eyes 
see only incarceration as a 
future snow-blind, in silence cries.
